Spiral waves are investigated in chemical systems whose underlying spatially-homogeneous dynamics is governed by a deterministic chaotic attractor. We show how the local periodic behavior in the vicinity of a spiral defect is transformed to…
The moving coframe method is applied to solve the local equivalence problem for the class of nonlinear wave equations in two independent variables under an action of the pseudo-group of contact transformations. The structure equations and…
In this paper, a viscous shock wave under space-periodic perturbation of 1-D isentropic Navier-Stokes system in the half space is investigated. It is shown that if the initial periodic perturbation around the viscous shock wave is small,…
Scattering of time-harmonic plane wave by two parallel semi-infinite rows, but with staggered edges, is considered on square lattice. The condition imposed on the semi-infinite rows is a discrete analogue of Neumann boundary condition. A…
In fluid dynamics, an interface splash singularity occurs when a locally smooth interface self-intersects in finite time. We prove that for $d$-dimensional flows, $d=2$ or $3$, the free-surface of a viscous water wave, modeled by the…
A collisionless shock wave is treated as a streaming plasma instability in the interstellar medium (ISM). We assume that in a steady state, this instability propagates through the ISM as a self-driven plasma instability, whereby the…
We consider a spherical variant of the Faraday problem, in which a spherical drop is subjected to a time-periodic body force, as well as surface tension. We use a full three-dimensional parallel front-tracking code to calculate the…
Self-similar solutions to converging (implosions) and diverging (explosions) shocks have been studied before, in planar, cylindrical or spherical symmetry. Here we offer a unified treatment of these apparently disconnected problems . We…

We consider two particles interacting via a contact interaction that are constrained to a sphere, or $S^2$. We determine their spectrum to arbitrary precision and for arbitrary angular momentum. We show how the non-inertial frame leads to…

The objective of the present study is to develop a basic understanding of the interaction of shock waves with density inhomogeneities. We consider here the particular instance of a planar air shock impinging on a spherical water-droplet and…
This paper is concerned with the inverse problem of scattering of time-harmonic acoustic waves by an inhomogeneous penetrable obstacle in a piecewise homogeneous medium. The well-posedness of the direct problem is first established by using…
The coordinate asymptotics of the wave function for the problem of scattering of three particles with Coulomb interaction is constructed. Representation of hyperspherical functions is used to reduce the Schr\"odinger equation to a system of…
Under increasing compression, an unbuckled shell is in a metastable state which becomes increasingly precarious as the buckling load is approached. So to induce premature buckling a lateral disturbance will have to overcome a decreasing…
We introduce a technique to solve numerically the relativistic Euler's equations in scenarios with spherical symmetry using the standard Smoothed Particles Hydrodynamics method in cartesian coordinates. This implementation allow us to…

Scattering of a time harmonic anti-plane shear wave due to either a pair of crack tips or a pair of rigid constraint tips on square lattice is considered. The two problems correspond to the so called zero-offset case of scattering due to a…

Strong discontinuities in solutions of the gas dynamic equations under isentropic conditions, i.e., with continuity of entropy at the discontinuity, are examined. Solutions for a standard shock wave with continuity of energy at the…
